Hi guys. Welcome to the high profile match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. We are 10 minutes away from the kick-off.
Hotspur coach Andre Villas Boas has already said he is seeking vengeance with a win in this match
Remember, last year he was sacked as Chelsea coach following a string of defeats
Clearly, he has a point to prove. We understand, don't we?
It's jam packed out there at White Hart Lane
Both teams are lined up in the tunnel with plenty of cherubs.
@naveen it is. Agree. But you cant blame him after what happened to him at Stamford Bridge
Meanwhile, the match has just got underway
Here is a stat for you. Tottenham have won just 3 EPL encounters against Chelsea since 1992-93
Clearly, the odds are heavily stacked in Chelsea's favour
Also, Chelsea is the only team to have not conceded a second half goal this season
Gallas had a great opportunity missed there in the box. Great cross from the half line but poor execution on the part of Gallas
Meanwhile, Cole gets a corner for Chelsea
We are into the 6th minute of the game and so far it's been pretty drab except Gallas' miss
Hazard provides some threat from the right wing
But his pass is intersected by the alert Spurs defenders
There is a lovely pass for Torres but Spurs goalie Friedel pouches the ball before Torres has any chance
Oscar's effort from outside the box misses the goal, by some distance
At one time it seemed that he was fine
So far it's been Chelsea on the ball
Spurs' midfield is having a tough time out there
That' s explains why they are going for long balls
Ramires spoils all his good efforts
Sprints with the ball to the box but then loses possession right there
Ramires should take part in 100m dash
I am not joking. He is very fast. There are very few footballers who run the way he does
It's intimidating for an opposition team
Another corner for chelsea
Cahill scores for Chelsea
Hazard took the corner and it came off the head off a Spurs defender and Cahill volleyed it home
Wow. Chelsea 1 (17th minute) Spurs 0
Defoe's effort goes to pot thanks to Cech
It was a long-range shot but the Chelsea goalie dived to his left to stop what could have been Spurs' equaliser
Interestingly, it was Villas-Boas who had hired Cahill as Chelsea coach
Whatever happened to words like repayment and all
Ivanovic gets a yellow for simulation
A great job by the referee. It was simulation, by all means
Villas-Boas cheering his team on on the sidelines
Nobody wants a win today as badly as him
Hi guys. Welcome to the high profile match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. We are 10 minutes away from the kick-off.
It would have been better if villa boas would have sought to play good football. Revenge is double edge sword
